Tilapia and asparagus with spicy Japanese mayo
If you think you’ve eaten too much meat during the Christmas weekend and you want something lighter and healthier for the New Year weekend, fish is a good alternative.
This tilapia and asparagus with spicy Japanese mayo dish was inspired by the asparagus with spicy mayo that we enjoyed at Miyabi...

Cooking for a carnivorous bunch
We’re having a family get-together tomorrow. Speedy’s youngest brother is in the country, he hasn’t been home in something like two years and it’ll be the first time he’ll be visiting since we moved to this house a year and a half ago. What’s on the menu? It’ll...

Baked salmon and peaches
A gamble that paid off. I wanted fish (after the ox tongue and pork ribs, fish was a welcome respite) but I wanted something festive. It was the day after Christmas and I was still in holiday mode, after all. What I wasn’t in the mood for was frying. So, I thawed a fillet of [...]...

Lengua (ox tongue) in cream and corn sauce
The plan to cook ox tongue with mushroom sauce went pffft! when my daughter Sam walked into the kitchen just as I was about to make the sauce and demanded why I wasn’t cooking lengua with corn. I told her to put the mushrooms back into the fridge and open a can of corn kernels [...]...

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a kilo and a half of fresh clams not knowing exactly whether I would use them for a pasta dish or a soup. By the time they had been soaked and cleaned, I felt it would be boring to cook them in just any old familiar way. A [...]...

General Tso’s chicken
The thing about stir fries is that they cannot be cooked in advance. Which makes them none-too-ideal dishes for large gatherings especially if, like me, you prefer to distribute the cooking over several days so that you don’t look and feel like wilted vegetable by the time the guests arrive.
But...

Holiday menu: mid-afternoon coffee and tea party
Even before All Saints’ Day, I’d already gotten a number of requests for holiday menu ideas. If my readers’ concerns are anything by which to judge the mindset of most Filipinos, I’d say it’s true that we really mean to live up to the image that the Philippines has the longest...
